And they are by far the most dangerous roads by quite some margin.
Idrive on a single carriageway road for about 30 miles a day. The problem is that people travel to close and don't anticipate. I find my self saying "Only a fool breaks the two second rule" under my breath as this helps me keep a 2 second gap between me and the car in front. By driving like this I can avoid constant changes in throttle and so save diesel (also I reduces the stress in driving). Do people think that driving automatic cars induces a more "relaxed" or "divorced" driving experience? I know that driving my 2000cc (95bhp) Diesel Citroen (1999) is. a lot easier than my 602cc (36bhp) petrol Citroen (1979) car. I don't need to thing about conserving as much momentum as possible round corners. And as to having the comfort level to fall asleep! Ha!
I thought that it was good, the only problem was that my wife din't like siting in silence for 1/2 an hour just after we got home (time when we normaly chat about the day)
Space exploration is going to stagnate unless they start using open technologies.
So thats the reason theres been stagnation lattly! Not that give the choise between sending up a rocket or paying less tax most people vote for less tax.
The long wave signal (198kHz) can be heard across parts of europe.
The transmitter is near Birmingham in the Midlands and has a range of about 300-400 miles / 500-600km as I know you can pick it up about 2/3 the way down France (listining to the test match on holiday).
So our european mighbours could pick it up if the web stream gets saturated
So sorry, I didn't mean to flame bait. Its just I come from the UK and so the whole gun ownership thing looks really strange from here.
I (an most other people over here) get by without ever seeing a gun let alone handling one. Our police are not routinely armed, although there is an armed response unit within about 15 min.
But then again we don't have a constitution (unless you count the EU proposed one)
An interesting comment on the difference this makes was shown by the Baghdad blogger who noted the different ways that the US and UK army handle their weapons.
Does that meen that you have the death penalty for shop lifting? or Speeding? or Jay walking (crossing the road not at a designated crossing point)?
All are criminal activitys
Wow the USA is such a great place!
Yes, improved diesel emission systems are coming down the pipeline, but they are not standard yet, and they cost about the same as adding a hybrid-electric system to a gas powered car.
The Cat on my Citroen HDI engine broke (physical impact) and had to be replaced. The part cost 340GBP inc. all Tax (VAT) so, no it does not cost the same as a hybrid-electric ssytem. So Yes it is standard (in Europe) and no it is not that expensive.
Low sulpher diesel in the UK is the same price as high sulpher as the tax ratye was changed to make them the same price, therfore 'high' sulpher diedel is not readaly avalible.
On the subject of smells I used to drive a Pergeot 305 with a 'old' diedel engine. having swiched to this common rail turbo job with cat the performance is way better and the fule consumption is better to. 50mpg @ 60mph towing a small caravan, 50mpg @ 80mph solo and about 60+mpg @ 55mph (not that I go that slow usully)
and doen't smell like a diesel at all
Alternatively, you could use Aeroplanes, and paratroopers.
Err no you can't the air lift capability of the 1940 could manage a jeep size weight but not much more.
The Battel of Briten was about getting bombers through to distroy the RAF on the Ground and also the manufacturing base. The Gemans only had adapted river barges to use, The RN could have reaked havoc on them.
So the battle of Britain was important to win to stop the distruction of london and the manufacturing but not to stop an invation. The Germans never realy develped workable plans fo this (Sealion was not really practicable)
A couple of good books, both by the same author (Len Deighton) Fighter (non-fiction) and SS-GB (fiction - what if the invation had happend)
Ken Brown had done some research
"Who has had a argument with Linus and would therfor dish up some dirt?" (lightbulb) "Hello KLM 1 return ticket to amstadam please"
Red shift (caused by the dopler effect) is dependent on the speed away from (red) or towards(blue) an observer of an object.
It is not related to distance from the object to the observer (apart from when it gets *realy* close when it all goes black)
My local cinema here in the UK is a small independent, "The Burnham Rio" Burnham- on -Crouch . Ok it gets the films about 4 weeks after the national release but the cost is low (2 adults(2.50 * 2) + 1 popcorn(1) = 6 / 8.97263 Euro / $ 10.74300)
Also the seats are so far apart that I cant touch the one in front with my feet when sitting down. Its for this reason that I go to this cinema, reasonable cost, friendly surroundings & comfort

Unfortunatly not everywhere is a sensible as Sweeden!

A gun club can be registered to hold firarms but the regulations are so tight that many have folded in the last 15 years.
